Maihime
Shota Yamauchi (JP)
By personifying technology as a gorilla wearing a human’s skin, and by synchronizing it with the movements of the performer who faces it, this work aims to open up a new perspective on the relationship between people and technology. It asks just what it is that exists before our eyes or beside us, in an age where technology is a medium for many forms of communication.
The Shape of Things to Come
MencheLAB (AT), powered by Max Perutz Labs (AT), a joint venture of the University of Vienna (AT) and the Medical University of Vienna (AT)

We are all Bodies of Water: Re-enchanting the Vulva, re-spiriting the Danube, inviting the magic back into our oceanic beginnings. Entangled between our menstrual blood and primeval waters of Dānu, we embody our ancestral river myths through our common microbes, dancing. Leaking, sponging, and dissolving our human watery bodies, we invite the audience into a ritualistic gaze of interacting dependency — a mystical relationship with our larger, ecological, Bodies of Water.
Inescapable Entanglement Performance
Clara Francesca (AU/IT), Anne Wichmann (She’s Excited!) (DE), Letizia Artioli (IT), Luca Cacini (IT)
Inescapable Entanglement is a posthumous narration of the emotional reaction to the climate change crisis. We ask “How can technology serve us?” while acknowledging that “Solastalgia” (distress caused by environmental change) is on the rise in societies. At the intersection of performance (Chekhov’s play Uncle Vanya), AR (live climate change metrics), soundscapes and biometric data visualization of physiological responses, we invite audiences to discover possibilities of living on an intrinsically entangled planet.

It is as if Özcan and Tahiroğlu is thrown into the space of musical universe with continuously transforming cluster of sounds, facing with the challenge of forming a new transitional relationship between each other and the AI-terity.
PLASTICPHONIA – Music out of Plastic Trash
